IF the restrooms had been open, the showers had been working, and the Ranger had checked our reservations,
and the river had water in it, it would have been a fair trip. I had not been down to the Kings Canyon area in 40 years, and it was a bit of disappointment that there is no water.

This campground is quite and close to river. Amenities are enough and close by. You need to drive about one hour after entering the kings canyon national park. Roads are winding, so pay extra caution if you drive at night. Enjoy your trip here
